The little boards with the the gold pins under the huge alum heat sink. They are about 2in x 2in and have a 1/4 plate sealed to them. What are they?

That is the CPU aka central processing unit.
Thank you. I get so confused with e-scrap as I am fairly new to this side of the recycling business. So much to learn and so little time.
We definately need a computer parts picture thread.
Ill make one up tonight when I get home from work.
easy posted a low quality but fairly helpful tower breakdown video somewhere. if you're new to ewaste, you should watch it
I really need to learn the in's and out's of E-waste. Im not much of a electronics kinda guy.
lol : for me the real confusion didnt start till I learned enough to where I thought I knew what I was doing.
That would be awesome. I have the same issue, what is what, and what are the better parts to scrap (other than the gold fingers, which I clip and put into a jar).Quote:

Boardsort has a price per pound for trimmed fingers. Also has a price for trimmed boards.Quote:

There is still a lot of confusion about what all is on a typical motherboard and I found this breakdown that might help explain some of it. Hope this helps,,,
